IBOY

I know what they think Bat men, panther, sand, electricity and, of course, now played the iPhone child, in my opinion is the hero that represents us in the XXI century, and I mean the generation Z.
Tom, a shy teenager, is shot when he interrupts some thugs sexually assaulting his friend Lucy. Instead of dying, the integrated pieces of your phone in your brain allow you to connect to any network with your mind.

An absurd idea, that adheres to the logic of the comic books of more adolescent superheroes, those in which science fiction had a sequence of cause effect of the order "radiation-powers" and what What mattered were the interpersonal relationships of the protagonist. In this case the power to send whatsapp with the head or change the playlist of itunes of the villains represents quite well the anxieties of a new generation, however stupid it may be.

Millennial Hero

Netflix has earned part of its consolidated position thanks to its original series of Marvel heroes in recent years, as well as its own production films. Although these are not usually so remarkable, this time they have achieved a hybrid of both formats with a more entertaining result than they usually offer lately. Based on a youthful novel by Kevin Brooks, 'iBoy' shows the streets of South London as a scene as dark and dangerous as Gotham.

And is that, although the plot and character are a version of Spider-Man too shameless (even has his own aunt May), the British flavor gives a bit of reality that shares with the cult series 'Misfits' (2009- 2013) adding dark touches around serious problems of youth culture such as bullying or sexual assault. The approach is serious, and there are even nuances of cyberpunk and body horror, violence can be felt, which contrasts with his comiquero spirit. </ center>

Perhaps, the legitimacy of the proposal comes from the great chemistry between the two actors, Bill Milner and Maisie Williams, habitual in the genre thanks to 'Game of Thrones' (Game of Thrones, 2010-) and 'Doctor Who' . Lucy is not the typical victim and the iBoy of turn is a much more geeky Peter Parker, but both are credible and manage to endow their relationship with certain complexity beyond the "geek in love", which adds a distant tone to the Cold atmosphere in general.

Although the boy's powers are not too bright (if his only way of fighting evil is to sound the alarm of the mobile of the villains we do not predict a great career) the approach and the characters work almost automatically and his first half manages to hook and create enough emotion levels to forget that the second one is not so bright. In addition, the villain is too cut by a neighborhood gangster mold come to more than we have seen too many times.

Here the Trailer


This 'iBoy' could well be any of the teenage heroes who help Flash or Arrow in any of the serial of the DC universe that govern teenage television. In fact, maybe the problem with the film is that it looks like an elongated pilot for a possible series.
